Abstract
In the last 10–15 years, especially among young people, there has been an increase in the prevalence of vaping, which partially replaces the smoking of conventional cigarettes. The chemicals in vape liquids can provoke the development of non-infectious inflammatory pneumonitis. Symptoms of the disease usually appear within a few months after the start of smoking electronic cigarettes. Vape-associated lung disease is a clinical diagnosis and is established after the exclusion of other respiratory diseases. The article describes a clinical case of vape-associated lung injury in a 17-year-old teenager.
